Deanmill puts on woodchop competition over the weekend in rainy conditions

The annual Deanmill Log Chopping competition was held on Saturday, in cold and rainy conditions, featuring competitors from Harvey, Collie, Perth and even New Zealand, for a day full of entertainment.

The event included six different woodchopping competition categories, a bouncy castle and an ice-cream truck for kids, performances from the Southern Forests Bootscooters in between competitions, and marron races after presentations.

The day had two father-and-son pairings — Joe and Zayden Thomas and Ethan and Brett Reynolds — and a grandfather, father and son trio competing — Steve Rees Sr, Steve Rees Jr and Rex Rees.
